The Samsung Galaxy S IV Active


Ahead of Samsung's June 20, 2013 Samsung Premiere event in London, the Korean giant announced the Samsung Galaxy S IV Active. We all know that the water resistant and rugged smartphones have become somewhat important now in the market because if it isn't nobody would make one. I believe Sony Mobile spearheaded this water resistant-of-it-all craze with their Sony Xperia Z. So to just respond to Sony, Samsung created what I believe is a beautiful smartphone in terms of design. The device The Galaxy S IV Active is IP67 certified (IP68 is the highest rating). With that said, this device debunks the Xperia Z in terms of water resistance (if that is even a word).
